A Sindhi walks into a bank in New York City and asks for the loan officer.

He says he is going to Europe on business for two weeks and needs to borrow
$5,000.

The bank officer says the bank will need some kind of security for such a
loan, so the Sindhi hands over the keys of a new Mercedes parked on the
street in front of the bank. Everything checks out, and the bank agrees to
accept the car as collateral for the loan. An employee drives the Mercedes
into the bank's underground garage and parks it there.

Two weeks later, the man returns, repays the $5,000 and the interest, which
comes to $15.41. The loan officer says, "We are very happy to have had your
business, and this transaction has worked out very nicely, but we are a
little puzzled. While you were away, we checked your bank a/c and found
that you are multimillionaire. What puzzles us is why would You bother to
borrow $5,000?

The Sindhi replied, "Where else in New York can I park my car for two
weeks for 15 bucks?"
